@eigenem that L 'ELMER c. .remmer Saraniento, .in the county of Sacramento and' of Califoinia have 'in'veii ted certain newand usefni Improvements in Locomotive- Boilers, of'which the followng'is a f uIlLclear,

likeframe secured. onthe 'boiler vand formed at its underside withan opening Aforthe en-- trance of the airyand air passages leading from the said opening in the frame .to a top openingand to thefire'hole inthe boi1er`end.-

' .The invention also .consists of certairipft-s and detai'ls5and combinations of the same,as` wiilbehereinafter describedandthen pointed out inthe claims.

Reference is to be had titheaccompanying i drawings, forming a part of this specification,

Air is constantly admitted to the open- .ing C. -by an opening J5 in the auxiliary door J, the latter being also provided with an inward projection J6 extending from the upper -edge of 4the opening J5, see Figs. 1 and 3. The door .l ,may also have the hinge at the lower end to enable the operator to conveniently open and close it with the coal shovel.

The bottom of the wail D does not fully extend to the front of the frame B, as4 will be understood by reference to Fig. 3, so that a small amount of air can pass rfrom the passage E into the lire hole Aunder the opening C', this air not being pre-heated to any appreciable extent at the time it enters the tirebox. A damper K i's preferably 'arranged on the under side of the bottom of the frame B, so as to-regulate the amount of airadmitted through the opening B2 into the air passage E.

Having thus fully described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters` Patenti y 1. A locomotive boiler provided with an air passage surrounding its tire hole,- said passage communicating with the outer air at th'ebottom and with the fire hole at the top, substantially as described. Y
